Pros

They hire a lot of young people, around my age, and I made tons of new friends.

Cons

The hours: "Normal" hours are considered 9-6:30. I worked 8-5:30 and when I would leave at 5:30 I was made to feel guilty for leaving "early". I very rarely took a lunch break because I had too much to do. Understaffed: For some reason they refused to hire additional team members to help my team with our workload. We were all always swamped and that made us hate our jobs. Management: They don't listen to their employees, pile on the work, and make the employees feel guilty for taking time off/leaving "early" (which is really on time!)

Pros

Cvent is a high growth and energetic company that rewards you for working hard. They have great training when you first start (if you start during the summer time where they train about 60 people for 6 weeks). The people are great and i respect the management team. I am not sure i want a career in software, but if you do you will learn alot here. They hire almost all high achievers and if you thrive in that environment then you will like it here. The two things i like the most here are that you can take on a ton of responsibility within a few years (i talk to my friends who work at other companies and they barely have real contact with clients) and you have the opportunity to go to our india office after being with the company for a few years. I have and will continue to recommend Cvent to my friends.

Cons

The job can get slightly boring sometimes (i have worked at other places so i know this happens everywhere). The company measures your performance alot and hitting your metrics every month is stressed quite a bit, but they are pretty laid back about letting people work the hours they want and even going to the gym at lunch time. The last thing i would say is we need to better understand our career path at the company if we stay long term. You will have to commit to a 2 year training agreement - the company is up front about it and i understand it, but make sure you want to join the company.
